So NZ is no longer COVID free. A couple of return travellers were let loose into the community after 6 days quarantine . So this begs the question, does New Zealand not include return travellers in their COVID count if they are in quarrentine? Or do they just get no get returning travellers with COVID? Unlikely.

Australia includes all returning travellers with COVID in its stats. They are in the country. That has to be included. It appears NZ doesn't or returning New Zealanders are really healthy people.

Poor old Dan Andrews can't take a trick right now.

His COVID cases are skyrocketing, his MP's are corrupt and falling all around him, and South Australia won't let him to the party.

Don't worry Dan, NSW won't shut the borders on you.

I'll write your posts for you shall I? Practically do anyway. At least you don't 'stray' that way . While Australia has indeed done well to date with the virus, it's economy is far from good. Both countries have similar issues, way over priced real estate, reliance on overseas students and temp visa holders cheap to employ but bad for local workers, immigration to maintain that inflated real estate, a few things from the ground in Australia's case, where price is dictated overseas, along with a service economy. Hard to maintain value in that.

Pretty decent state leader though. Stood his ground, and attempted decency. A rare commodity these days. Icing on the cake being of course, he gets up the nose of the alt right. Dan's your man.

100%, and we all know who the common denominator is. Such a shame, TIO is more pleasant nowadays

You are correct with regards to PM Arden, but then the wheels come off. This thread is a political thread, so rightly enough views will differ. Senseless shit fight? What odd terminology to use. It's not farcebook I agree, full of faux niceness and idiotic likes and so on. I'm very confused though as to when you are shouted at? Just shout back. It may well be a member hard of hearing. You do understand political debates, by their very nature will differ from a threat about the weather?

every bloody thread on this forum turns into a political thread, this one only differs by staring out that way. Always the usual suspects, and the reason only a handful of people post. It's not debate, it's the same old pissing contest.

Mate this is the political thread. If you just want to get nasty without politics then this is not the thread for you.. Nasty with politics is excepted but not encouraged.

Is he though? Insulting a whole state is not a very decent thing to do.

I'm not your mate, read what I said again. You turn everything into politics, this thread was started because you were flushing another thread down the toilet. This one started political, yes, and as always turns nasty. That is only accepted by people who can't debate and have to bring it down. You're critical of all aspects of anyone not aligning to your politics, it's boring.

Troubadour started this thread so you and Spouse could stop complaining about politics going on in other threads. Its worked. Don't destroy a good thing. Unless you have anything political to contribute, then best on your way.

Its fine. This thread is tailor made for you. You love an argument. Welcome aboard. I can't see the resemblance between Mrs Potts and Ardern though.
